This printer can print without computer ! Of course, I knew those types of printers are existing. But I didn't know their potential ability.
So, I thought of testing it as quickly as possible.
Today, I made my time to try it. But unbelievably, this printer didn't work !! I reviewed several check points and tried resetting it some times. A few hours later, I gave up it. This is a first experience of light accident. I'm afraid of this symptom.
Anyway, I have to send it to Epson's service center, and the charge for delivery should be paid by me. Epson's guaranty does not have much conviction to me. But I have almost no time to negotiate. This is my study from my experience. I should think so.
I say to myself in mirror "How's everything going?" when I wash my face every morning. But sometimes, I look very tired. In such a case, always I make me take high calorie's breakfast and sweet caffè latte. That is my habit easy to come back from sleeping mode.
Now, we're in good season to enjoy drinking tasty hot coffee. Now, we're welcoming a great harvest season , Autumn.
Printer that in Soka atelier has never rest from early morning to mid night. It had printed at least 6000 sheets of A3+ paper for this year yet. In all likelihood, I think it will reach over 8000 with in last day of this year.
As long as there are to have to print object, he never tire!!
I bought new shoe brush, because I'd lost old the one when I went to Italy. I think remembered using it for over 15 years. That was really my favorites brush. That was so tiny, so useful, and it give me very high cost performance! So, I bought another one the same as the old one. The old one, I would have been able to use at least 10 years if I hadn't lost it.
This new brush will be used by me as long as I live, if I never lose it.
Now, I'm learning how to remake our web photo galleries. It's great strain on my nerves, brain and eyes. But I mustn't stop studying it, that is the most important for our company.
But, I thought good ideas. I almost solved it just now. I'll try to do that method from tomorrow.
I really decide I will have to be the strongest guardian of EasterEgg. Therefore, I mustn't be afraid of unknown objects in front of me, also sometimes I will have to become like a devil. But I have overcome any troubles, great difficulty and serious things until now. I am a guardian of our EasterEgg and belonged photographers.
Today;
I went around EasterEgg's Aoyama atelier for business. Asuka Net well-known by world's photographers is very close to our atelier, it's only 1 minute. We can go there and look at all type of their albums whenever we would like to do. And I thought we mustn't forget we are in convenient position. Therefore, today I spent very long time gazing at many types of new albums.
After I left there, I went to wedding dress shop called "Izumi-ya" on my way to our atelier. Owner and I were talking to each other on business and private things. Always he let me notice this business world and how I grow up our company under favorable conditions.
Next, I went to "La butte boisée" at Jiyugaoka to meet new wedding planner. We exchanged franc opinions each other. I thought we'll no doubt continue our business tie-up to long long future.
From next month, I decided to learn English conversation at "Dokkyo University" near my house.
My private English grammar teacher taught me how to get a lot of knowledge of English by myself . She also let me know many interesting things in English. Now, I'm really eager to increase my English conversation ability as quickly as possible.
But I and she don't have enough time to learn it each other.
That's why, I go there to improve my poor English.
Do my best !!
I wish that I'll go to England next year.
I've gotten backache since I woke up this morning. It was gradually increasing. And then it really painful for me. I think I have to put a poultice on there as soon as possible!
My little son belong to "Kendo" club in his school since this April. I was surprised at his act. He looked like a crying baby till he reached to around ten years old. He was thin, small and light weight, also had a weak constitution. Always he whispered to speak to somebody. He never made loud his voice.
He is growing up in himself day by day. This is his first uniform for practicing in "Kendo" club. I wish he will become stronger man until it will be wearing.
Tomorrow, we will greet Autumnal Equinox Day. A certain meaning, we will be going to the greatest season waited for us. Although nature power often had brought about us huge disasters we;Japanese never give up. If anything we will have to exist together with them if we hope we live in Japan forever!!
But only today, I had better forget such a sad thought. I will be cherishing beautiful season to come, tonight.
13:25 on yesterday, my flight took off the Heathrow Airport on time. It took about 11 and a half hours from London to Narita, and it was a first experience for me to be midnight flight.
I almost lost myself and admired beautiful skyline beyond the window. Sudden then. I could see the red half-moon on it. That was terrific enough to impact something moving my heart. You must be find at it lower right. And you might feel from it something abstract as marvelous as I felt.
That Moon was given as a present for me from every people.
I should come back to my job as quickly as possible.
Tomorrow, I shall return to my job.
Today, I went to the Colosseo and Foro Romano.
It was raining, when I woke up in the morning.
I almost gave up going there and I had breakfast as last opportunity.
But, weather was changing to be fine during I was eating it !
I could visit to the Foro Romano and the Colosseo, again.
It was the best miracle for me to gaze at them, unexpectedly.
I intended to go to Firenze today before I left from Japan. But yesterday, my business had completely landed on that will bring about good news for our customers.
Then, I went to Trastevere area across the Tevere river, instead.I heard that area still have remained the Middle Ages color, and I thought I wanted to go there someday.
It was by far the miracle time for me to take a walk around there. I was wondering if I'm in the dream. But that iss real experience for me.
This trip will reach to the end in a day. So, I would go to Colosseo and Foro Romano, or Vatican museum once more.
Today; I was negotiating to buy a lot of photo albums at a stationery shop from 10:30 to 12:30. That shop's name is "IL PAPILO in Firenze" well known on the world.
I tried picturing abstract marble pattern onto paper which will become a cover of our photo albums.
It's much more precious experience for me to impact myself.
Although many couples would like new type albums we never stop supplying hand made albums for minority couples preferring traditional style.
In the afternoon;
I bought some goods for my family and friends !
And after that, I went to gaze at many ancient statues at the Museo Nazionale Romano.
Especially, I wanted to meet Augustus Caesar ; Octavian.
He will be the my hero forever.
Please take a look at my photo album;Rome trip on 6th day
Today; I was walking in the Rome all day. I started walking from Piazza di Popolo at 9:00. It was already hot. But, Italy's weather never has humid, we can escape easier in shadow zone of something.
Anyway, I walked along to "Via del Babuino" and "Via Margutta" got to "Chiesa di Sant'Andrea delle Fratte" Church. I could meet the two of genuine statues well known by us as Sant'Angelo bridge's replica statues. These are original !! I was glad to see them directly.
Finally, I got into the Castel Sant'Angelo, and I was hanging there for about three hours. Cafe di Snat'Angelo was more cheaper than I expected. I had "Prosciutto di Parma"'s sandwich, cafe latte, fresh orange juice, and M size gelat. These cost only 15 euros !!
Full Moon in Rome does not make me be more calm feeling than Japan's. Tonight, Vatican city has been surrounded with fireworks sound, and it's still continuing to do. I don't feel like enjoy seeing it, tonight. I'd rather sleep, instead. I felt a little tired.
Tomorrow, I'm going to gaze at special arts and ancient statues at Vatican museum ! This time, I only have compact camera. I'm free!!
My fright depart time was 6:25 A.M.. Then, I had to go to "Haneda" Tokyo international airport at midnight.
I had been "Sakura" lounge during a waiting time, and I enjoyed eating many types of meals and drinks, also seeing night view. But it was absolutely boring time.
At the dawn time, I could see beautiful sunrise and unexpectedly I could see just in front of me an airplane that I'll board on.
Anyway, I boarded on that airplane, and it took off just on time. The weather was very fine. I could see Mt. Fuji and "Tokyo sky tree" beyond the "Rolls-Royce" jet engine.
I had to go to London to connect other airplane. It's much more expensive for me to use business class. But that route is very cheaper than direct flight. If you would like to go to long distance destination and you have painful backache, head stiffness, or stiffness of the shoulders, try a Britiish Airways. Heathrow Airport's lounge is really marvelous. We can take shower, and be able to eat everything we need.
But this time, my connecting flight's gate information and check in time delayed without any announcing for about 20 minutes. It made us uneasy.
At last, I arrived in Rome, again. It took just 22 hours leaving my house.
Now, I start to go to Italy. I've just left from my home. I'll reach to Italy in a day. I never know why Italy is calling to me so strongly. I thought I'll have to stand there by my own foot.
Now, I and Isao are constructing new web site about analog hand made photography. Recently, most of people might image digital photo more usual than analog photos. But, we;EasterEgg emphasize too much. However digital photos will be easier and give us vivid pictures, that technologies are not yet to be reached to complete domain, now. We absolutely think photos gazed at long years need higher archival ability. Negative film and hand made photos will qualify as art for us as long as there are nostalgic feeling on us.
I'm not good at speaking, hearing English ! But, I'm interested to conversation in English spoken in many countries. I have been studying English for 18 months. Now, I can only a little understand English if somebody is talking slowly. Also I can only a little speak English, very slowly. I wanna be a better English speaker !!
Anyway, I'll have to go to Italy without Italian alone. I think it get to be interesting to travel with my poor English.
Today; I went to "Nihombashi" area. Nihombashi is well-known by Japanese as all Japanese road's start point. That history dates back to the 17th century.
Nowadays, little by little this area has been redeveloping to retro modern city.
This building is "Nippon Ginko" established in 1896, which was designed by Kingo Tatsuno.
Now, JPY is too higher than other country's money.
It's good for those who travel abroad. But also it's the worst for many industries that rely on exporting to abroad.
Traveling to Italy is in one week. But I don't prepare for it nearly. Actually, this time I'm not going to make detailed plan. I hope, I would like to watch many night view, also I'd like to take a pretty tram. And I want to live in Rome forever !!
The Autumn is getting nearer and nearer.
Although each season have something better I think Autumn is the best of four season in Japan.
I've taken care of them at least twice in each month, but I noticed some of my shoes are a little bit tired. Especially, casual shoes are worse.
I need new ones, but I don't have enough money to buy them.
Just then, a postman brought a letter written about bargain sale of shoes !
But, my purse never changes !!
I often write letters to our customers and partnership companies in handwriting.
When I write short letter, I usually use postcard drawn some picture on reverse side. My handwriting letters are absolutely awful, but I've done it on my best ! My heart is in it.
I should return to the main story.
Sometimes, I have to write a lot of letters, but actually always I enjoy using my fountain pen, because I can write on sheet of papers made in Florence, Italy.
Both letter sheets and envelopes made in Florence are completely marvelous.
It's a little bit expensive to use them every time. But I would continue to write letters on it carefully.
Today ;
I bought memorial stamps printed about "Tokyo International Airport " for my letters.
I didn't know that airport is 80 years old. It's much older than I thought.
By the way, I still don't like to board to airplane, I really think, if I have enough time I'd go to Europe or anywhere by trains, buses or ferries.
Today.
I went to "Tuchiya-kaban" leather factory shop to study a lot of things of leathers.
It unique factory has established in 1965. It's before 1 year I'd been born. I thought it must be one of a destinies for me.
I don't know myself why I'm yearning for leathers so much.
But, I know also only one thing that those are enough to do for me everyday, anywhere.
If you have any stresses, try to touch some leathers, as slow as possible and softly.
You might see what I'm getting at.
I feel that photo album's trend is gradually changing. It's correctly natural in any age, anywhere.
But, as the same time I believe some of couples would like to choose only one for them.
We;EasterEgg have been continuing to supply the best photo albums to you since 2000.
You can expect to us.
We intend to announce a few new albums in a month.
I ate chestnuts rice this evening.
It's much more delicious and I think it brings us autumn every year.
Summer season will pass in one month, I think.
Many friends say me "Don't you feel something sad?" when we feel autumn wind every year.
But, I never think so, autumn is the best season for me.
That season fits to me.
Although Winter season will come next it brings us sweet fruits, beautiful red leaves and refreshing winds.
I was here five hours ago.
Here is "Marunouchi Nadori" street. Although Sunday night, I've never seen such a dark lighting here.
It indicates we are still in emergency. We mustn't forget it fact and we should rebuild Japan.
I've ever taken "Tram" at Rome only once.
It went along the Rome city to the Vatican city.
Sometimes, I remembered sitting down and viewing ancient buildings beyond the window.
That small train running slowly let me calm. I think I should have enjoyed that experience.
Next month, I can enjoy getting on that train several times, because I'll stay at the hotel which is beside of Vatican.
The hamburger steak stewed with sauce demi-glace is one of the my favorite meal. I often went to more reasonable steak restaurant when I was young. It always made me all smile. And I was satisfied by it every time when I ate it. The time of eating something delicious is the most precious for everybody, don't you think so?
She is Satoko Miyake who belong to us:EasterEgg. I've been interested in her thinking process for a year. Always she speaks to everybody slowly.
Sometimes, I felt I got short temper when she spoke something abstract. Therefore I thought I should have to know more a few her personality. Today ; I and she went to Minami-Koshigaya to watch the "Awa odori" festival. A couple who were taken photos by her when they got married were dancing there today. After watching them, we had dinner at "Ishi's soba", and we exchanged frank opinions each other. I could understand a little what she is thinking. But, if anything she had to listen to my abstract stories, instead.
Anyway, she has really straight mind. I can assure you that she takes wedding photo of your dream.
I never reach the end of studying English. I think my mother language;Japanese has many verbs which often change miraculous. It's natural to Japanese people. Also I have to study more to improve my English ability.
I've been being half crazy about a phantom or fairy in my mind for half year. Of course, there actually isn't in front of me. I must face real world, and I should work harder than I did. But, my mental power will be last. How should I do. I might have to go to mental clinic, if the phantom doesn't look at me.
I'm tired, today. I never want to break anything. I never want to hurt anyone. But, I've been taking a walk long long distance. I can't turn back before.
I usually prefer so-called "European style food" rather than Japanese foods.
Especially, I think Italian foods are the best, however many French meals are known on the world as famous delicious meals.
Today ; I boiled pasta for my lunch.
Till last year, I rarely cooked myself. I thought it's troublesome to prepare for cooking. But now, I often cook Italian pasta, it's pleasure ! I used to work for cafe as a part time staff when I was a teenager and I cooked several type of meal that included some pastas.
Surprisingly, I still remembered making some sauce, soup, and pasta.
I would like to cook as long as there's interested in cooking in my mind.
I ought to have studied English harder while I was a student. I would like to talk to many people of the world. Nowadays, we can speak to each other much easily than only 5 years ago.
Today, I have spent a good time with my family. I and my sons polished each shoes, pressed each shirts. And, I told my son to study harder till the graduation of junior high school.
In the evening, I bought them a computer's software and immediately I set up it into their Mac. Anyway, it will be necessary for them to study, etc.
Today; I enjoyed my day off. I had watched some videos that I recorded while last 6 months. I have been looking forward to watching them, particularly "Visual records of 20th Century" by NHK's programs were very interesting.
I stopped by "Mont Blanc official shop" at Ginza on my way to home to receive my fountain pen. Mostly companies might be in summer vacation now and there were less people than usual. I thought it was clean enough to breath in deeply.
When I was gazing at many yearned items in that shop I found up a rare ink which is named "INK LOVE" as vivid red.
It was fascinating enough to buy on impulse.
Most of red ink didn't suit my taste till now.
As long as I can get it, I would like to use it.
Do you have any calm space when you want to be alone? I have some ones.
One of them is my car. But, if anything it often makes my heart beat fast, instead. As the proverb says "Diamond cuts diamond"!
Seriously, it's important to be calm when we have to think about something earnest. Another is a cafe which serves tasty coffee for me. And, it's important for me that mustn't be too crowded ! (Please keep this to yourself) Naturally, it's difficult. Anybody can find the best cafe easily, and I will have to find another secret cafe. But it's also not bad.
It was unbelievable hot day, wasn't it ? I was taking photos of wedding memorial at outside of restaurant.
Today, that area recorded over 40 degrees centigrade as unofficial. I almost dried. But I was safe, because I drank enough water and ate enough meal before I worked.
Weather reports said that hot day might continue at least more seven days. We should prepare for hard situation !
Today;
I studied business administration almost a day.
I'm ashamed of being a lazy person, till 10 years ago.
Now, I'm eager to increase my knowledge of several things.
But, it's difficult for me to learn new things, processes, and techniques !
If I would like to master several knowledge I have to read, write, and listen to same sections at many times.
I enjoy living my life with a lot of happiness. I'm deeply thankful to them for their kindness.
I ought to study more and I would like to return gift present as soon as possible.
I started independent own photo office from a photo studio in fall 2000. When I stood on own foot I decided I should believe my way. I thought I would like to be heart warm photographer as well as learning great sense, getting photo technique, and mastering enough knowledge. So, I wanted to be "Special photographer" for each couples.
Just now, I've remembered my precious decision. I was relieved. If I completely forget such a pride I never forgive myself as long as I live.
Recently, I thought I could find real precious things. Maybe, it's easy to find but I think it's difficult for ordinary people to do. Therefore. I would like to challenge to hard situation.
So, I must continue to try my dream that makes smile on many couple's faces. I'm going to take photos of wedding day by analog camera again from this fall.
Before it, I'll go to Rome to feel something wonderful. Many Italian people enjoy living as so-called "Slow life". But, most of them aren't so rich. I should learn directly from them.
Today; We had suffered from pouring rain sometimes. Owing to it, I had to give up driving a car. But, it was no bad to take subway. It brought about some benefits to me. I could read a book during transfer time, and I could think about something better.
When I arrived at destination station, unbelievably it was fine ! Anyone didn't have umbrellas. Only I gripped big one, I was worried if I looked like a rain man.
Today, I went to "la butte boisse" at Setagaya;Tokyo.
That restaurant was renovated from old Japanese house. And, it is well-known by gourmet people and some artistes. Of course, these lunch and dinner are by far the marvelous taste !
I've ever eaten lunch here some times. I can't forget that meat, fish, and sweets ! It'll be more difficult to find up excellent restaurant than you think. I recommend it for you ! It's awesome ! But today, my visiting object was business ! I told representative to continue to tie up on business each other forever.
Today ; I had to go to the Kounosu in Saitama to renew my driver's license. I was wondering why I must go there, because I've never violated since I renewed it last time. If it was right I would renew it at police station which is in 5 minutes from my home. But, unfortunately, it was wrong. Therefore I had to to drive for about 3 hours (including return time) . And further, I had to listen to traffic manner, rule, laws... It was really bore to do it. I think I almost looked like a knocked down boxer when that class finished.
About 2 hours ago, I came back to home. And I was given this miniature car from Yamato delivery service.
I had better gaze at tight fact in front of my two eyes. However it's really painful for my mind, I'll have to face truly fact. Because, we're living on fact and also we'll have to continue to improve our ability of everything and hospitality mind. First, I as representative of my office must change myself, immediately. Then, I must need thorough review everything we had done till today. Finally, I should judge myself. I will be able to change me in any frustrating situations. Yes, I can !
A fascinating leather photo album that is made in Italy will officially debut within 10 days. Today ; We finished putting photo on each page. It's absolutely marvelous !! Don't you think so ?
If you would like to own this album please call us. By all means to EasterEgg !! We can show you many types of leather album.
Anyway, please wait for our announcement with pleasure.
Today; it was very cold wasn't it? I thought I have to wear a cardigan as well as wearing long sleeve shirt. Such a strange day, we should take care of our physical condition. These a few days, I heard some people who caught a bad cold, and they seemed bitterer than they catch it in the winter season. Because I'm taking enough honey milk every day I'm keeping good condition ! I recommend you this if you interested in good honey.
EasterEgg's office takes day-off every Wednesday ! We can scarcely take holiday in weekend. But It's no wonder, because we are working for wedding site on ordinary people's holidays.
In fact, it's very convenient if I would like to do something. I don't have to go to crowded places. I can choose any seat to watch movies at the theater. I can spend reading book for long time in the cafe without something bothering.
Today; I went shopping to find certain Classic music DVD. I was searching for about 30minutes, and at last I could find it.
It's "Karajan". This movie was taken in 1975 and 1978.
I would like to be listening to music that was conducted by him all night.
Probably, I'll go to hell. I have to admit a fact. It is actually difficult to live on this world. I did many sins and crimes to protect myself and family. But sometimes, it gives contradictions to me.
I'm never afraid of it. I must go my way, however it's tight to me.
I've been waiting for this audible book for about 4 months. Today ; I got an E-mail about shipping information from Amazon U.S.A. So, I might get it within 5 days. I'm looking forward to reading and hearing it directly.
But then, it was very longer. I almost forgot ordering it.
I went to "Akasaka" community hall to listen to Japanese traditional music. It's called "Gagaku" in Japan. And it history goes back to the 8th century.
Akasaka community hall is across the "Akasakago sho" which is Japanese Prince's house.
The weather was better, or rather it was too hot.
I thought all couples that get married today would be happy, also "No doubt, our photographers will be exhausted." I thought so.
At the 2:30 PM, they started to play music.
That made me calm, and lead to dream feeling. It was very fantastic for me, probably mostly people would feel same.
Actually, I prefer European Classic music rather than "Gagaku".
But, if I'm in irritated I might listen to them for healing.
Tokyo area is suffering from violent heat and humidity for almost a month. Also, we have to get over this catastrophic situation with sensibly. So, we need enough to sleep, big meal, water, and sometimes, we have to enjoy playing.
Our customer and we went to "FIAT CAFE" which is near our Aoyama atelier to have lunch.
If I remember right, it was opened two or three years ago.
But, I haven't been to there till today. This opportunity is my first experience.
Anyway, we had delicious lunch and we exchanged information each other. But it wasn't on business.
But, it connect us more friendly. I think so from the bottom of my heart.
This pasta contains meats and octavos. It was yummier than I expected.
I ate it while listening to my customers intent story.
I'm sorry about my impolitely.
We are in the hottest season now. We should take care of ourselves for them, especially taking enough water is important, also don't forget to do minerals.
But, it is a bit tasteless to drink normal water every time, and again it's difficult to recover our physical condition from dehydration. Therefor, I think I would like to drink tea or coffee without sugar once or twice at a day.
Today; I was given good tea leaves. I'd like to drink it as soon as possible.
I've been studying English for 2 hours almost everyday since April 2010. But it's still broken. Sometimes, I think I need someone to help. I also think such a thought isn't good. On the one hand I must be standing up with own two feet, on the other hand it goes without saying, I am supported by many people.
Recently, I could make a few of friends who live in foreign country. It is pleasure to study English, however I have a poor memory.
I went to "Kamakura" to watch photo exhibition which were taken by Arito. Owing to huge earthquake, Tohoku area of Japan has been suffering from many alarming damages since 11th March 2011. Those seem evil dreams. But they are real facts.
Arito's photos indicate us "Never give up". And no doubt, his steady action make people have bright future.
Then I took the "Enoden" railway.
It's been a long time since I took it last.
It was full of humid and hot today, but I felt calm when I was swayed by the train.
I stopped off at Enoshima beach on my way to home from Kamakura.
Blue sky and ocean made me happy.
I'm really happy.
I have been smothered in uncountable happiness.
Today;
My wife gives me surprise present !
The other day, I tweeted "It is suitable to take it whenever I go somewhere", and I told her to present me it as my birthday present that was forgotten if it's possible. It was half as a joke.
Believe it or not, it's a fact. Really I could gain the Leica X1. Leica X1 has very large digital sensor as compact camera. It's so-called "APS-C", and it can make big natural bokeh on its pictures.
This is the first shot of the X1. This picture is as if a SLR camera's it.
Today; It was the hottest day, wasn't it ? Only six hours, I worked to take photos of wedding to be soaked with sweat. But, I hadn't been tired more than I anticipated when I'd finished my job.
And when I came back to my home, I hit on a bright idea. It is rare for me to exercise hard, but that time I thought I would like to pedal my bicycle as training. And immediately I put it into practice to ride a bicycle for 25 kilo meters.
About 4 hours ago, I got back to my home, and took a bath, had big meal. Today I remembered I have further work. I have to study English for exam. I'm going to fight against myself !!
Next week; I intend to go to "Bridal industrial fair".
Recently, bridal business market is gradually shrinking.
We should do thorough review of our business style at this opportunity.
Today; I received from a photo shop a few reversal films which had taken as camera test last week. M3 and M4, both camera's condition was much better than I expected !
I can use it in real work site. It is the best pleasure for me to take photos of wedding by negative film and analog camera !
Today; A couple visited us to receive their wedding album. They had gotten married at Kyuemontey in June. I was pretty impressed by their wedding ceremony and party on their photo album. So, I'd really been looking forward to meeting them, again.
Strictly speaking, that wedding was taken by Monmon. I wanted to tell the above just in case! Special thanks for sweet gift. Mr. & Mrs. T. See you again !!
I'm not good at enjoying dinner party. Because I'm a poor drinker, I have an unbalanced diet. Of cause, It is very harmful if I want to live long. But that's another story.
Anyway, I had to go to dinner party tonight on business with manager Kosugi. In fact, I felt I've spent a lot of my precious time, but it is important for our business to shake hand each other.
As well as, losing moisture we might be deficient in mineral.
I'm going to take much mineral waters and salts than usually, at least 2 month to come.
Of course, I should eat any kind of foods.
But, I would remember to eat with pleasures, anytime.
Actually, today ; I have no appetite a little bit.
Then, I would take "Tofu" with yummy mineral soy source.
Time flies like an arrow.
I was born in 1966, and I remember eagerly playing all day when I was child.
Then, I've been continuing to chase for something wonderful.
Sometimes I only found bore things, and sometimes I could get terrific luck.
I wish my life will be full of flowers like "Furano" or "Holland" or "Rhodes".
Dreams come true. Each in our dream will be different.
t's able to change anytime, anywhere by ourselves. In my case, my dream is "Chasing dream forever!"
I saw a honey bee which never stop working. Probably they knew that it was going to rain. I really thought nothing is more precious than working men, women or everything.
Tomorrow; We welcome July as the hottest season in Japan. And also I will have to restart from something bitter. No doubt, I'll get over all kinds of any suffering like I'd ever done.
Today; We went to Ginza for opening ceremony of new business partnership company. That restaurant is pretty near the Ginza station. If anything I can say it's directly connected with that station. So, it is really convenient for those who will get married, also for their guests.
That restaurant name is "Cruise Cruise Ginza" !! I can recommend you their creative dishes which based from French and Italian.
I bought bicycle for me last week.
Even I feel refreshed when pedaling bicycle.
Usually, my little son rarely wants anything.
He never wastes of moneys.
If anything, he told me be careful with my money instead.
I'd worried he might not know how to use moneys till the other day.
It is rarely that he requests something. He pressed me for his new bicycle when he looked at mine. Indeed, it was too childish for him that was decorated of cartoon characters.
Today, his new bicycle arrives. Now, it's a little bit big for him. But I think he'll catch up with it soon. This bicycle is on sale at TOKYO BIKE shop at Yanaka near the Ueno park.
It was a little cool day, wasn't it ? It had been hotter recently. I have never experienced such a humid feeling in June. It's still June !! I think this ill effect has many reasons....But they are other subjects.
Anyway, we have to overcome this summer using air conditioner as less as possible ! Now, I'm training my body and disciplining my mind for tight situation.Nothing is better than drinking a glass of cool water after the training, isn't it ?
Today; I went to Ebisu for learning a "Capture One Pro 6" with seminar. I have known it as the greatest software for developing digital photo data since 2005. But, it was enough not to be friendly for me. Then, I preferred other software.
As time went on,it has grown up by far the most marvelously.
I thought I would study it once again. And, I put into practice, today.
Seminar cost ¥3,000. but it included this book. It was much cheaper to pay it. This book costs really ¥2,940!! We can hardly find this book at major book store, also Amazon. How lucky I am !!
I studied that software on my computer with this book since I came back home.
Today ; It's too hot and humid day, isn't it? Although we had better turn off air-conditioner for electricity-shortage, I worried it "Can I cut off on hotter day to come?"
I received a parcel from Italy after my lunch.
They are 4 types of letter-set. Each in types is including 10 sets.
Just from now, I'm going to write letters for my dears!!
What a strange weather today was! In the morning, it rained, my son had to go to school taking his three heavy bags and his umbrella ! Poor him !
And ironically, just around the time that he arrived to school, it was getting fine! Little by little, weather was steadily going fine heating up temperature.
In the afternoon, I could hardly bear the heat, I was almost knocked down. But I could run away, somehow. And, in the evening, The weather became worse. It gave us storm !
As we anticipated, my little son had to go back home in the hard rain for about 2 kilo meters. And, he arrived to home when the storm just stopped. It was difficult for him to walk in the rain with his heavy wear, protector, mask and a bamboo sword for "Kendo" like a fencing.
I remember walking around the Rome last fall without enough conversation ability. If I could speak English a little more I would enjoy traveling there from another viewpoint.
Studying ! I really rely not on anyone, it's my responsibility, it's also my decision by myself.
I couldn't stop eating ice cream on even such a cold day. It's better than anything for my brain, when I'm feeling tired. I emphatically think so.
But, as it is, I've been wondering about one concern in ice cream or any other sweets. No doubt, they'll lead to dismal consequence for me. My spirit warns me to save getting over calories. But, I couldn't easily.
Then, I poured "acetto balsamico" over my ice cream. If you feel you apt to eating something sweet to much, please try it !! I can assure you that it makes you health.
Today ; I went to shopping mall in "Koshigaya lake town" to buy my bicycle. But, I couldn't readily seek the best one which fit to my feeling, or they'd been already sold out. In spite of I'd like "Azure Blue" color, I had to choose from other colors.
By the way. In fact, it was first opportunity for me to buy own bicycle by myself. Tomorrow, it will arrive to me. I'm looking forward to riding it, directly.
According to this photo, indeed it had indicated that I'd broken my promise. I lost to sweets.... In that case, I should turn defiant and I'll have to say "What of it?";
Yesterday, I got a happy E-mail from brides who will get married in 4 months. She said, in spite of retro style, she would like analog photo rather than digital photo. And more! she would like to be taken photos of her wedding by me.
I'm particularly interested in what she is wishing. I'll no doubt bring bout wishes of her, her groom, and their families.
Actually, I'd rather like winter than summer. Summer is indeed active, and it makes us fine. But, it is heavy hot for me, not to be able to stand. Nothing is satisfactory than my tasty blood for mosquitoes. If I get bitten by any mosquito, I develop an allergy to it.
Therefor, she helps me every summer season. I love her. She's so cute! don't you think so?
Perhaps, I'll have to go to Venezia as soon as possible. Tragically, in all likelihood I won't be able to stay there only 2 days ! But, it's a real business trip, so it's inevitable. If it will be fine, I would take many photos of Venezia as a aquatic illusion city.
It was silent rain from last night. I was wondering many couples would be worry about today's weather. But, we had not rain in the afternoon. And, I thought happy to look over the restaurant's garden while I'd been waiting for couples. And I could see that there were a lot of activity of tiny lives.
Bees were merrily looking for sweet nectar to suck.
Ants seemed busy to carry something important for them.
Almost just the wedding ceremony's time, the sky was gradually getting fine. And, I'd started to take photos of couple,
During a noon recess, I'd been cycling around a Soka atelier. I could avoid from the rain, however the weather was almost cloudy all day !
I'm wondering it will be rainny, tomorrow. But, you don't have to worry. Although sometimes we might be in worse weather, each in its own day on life is special.
On the way at that time, I've found a lot of colorful flowers. They are hydrangeas which are well known as a rainy season's flower.
I'm anxious about if you are getting bore. But, I would like to say again that I didn't realize Japan has been covering with something wonderful always!!
I heard that hydrangea's colour depends on soil when I was in kindergarten. If soil acidity, their colour would be blue. And if alkaline soil, they show us red. And more, if the soil is natural, predictably purple.
But, surprisingly that theory was wrong !! I could know it just now from the wiki.
Although they still have some problems, I think it's excellent to take a movie by "single lens reflex cameras". But, Camera and movie camera are still different in many points I'll have to study taking and editing, more and more !!
Unsurprisingly, I still love photo more than movie now. I'll announce terrific information in 10days,
Recently, I've been reviewing old manual focus lenses for auto focus cameras. Auto focus system has brought about great convenience and marvelous chances for moment to us;photographers. I'm still not liking auto focus lenses. However, they're by far the most convenient . But, I thought either, way they lack individuality as professional tool.
I feel paradox between a individual tool and innovate ones.
But I would like to believe my inspiration. I'll try to combine traditional tool with new ones.
"How cool today is!" then I thought "I want to go back to my home by bicycle !"
I suddenly took it into my head to try it.
I started.
5 minutes later, I reached to "Akasaka Geihinkan". I was perfectly OK.
30 minutes later, I passed through the Tokyo dome city.
I was getting to feel a bit tired.
Further 60 minutes passed, I've got pins and needles in my legs.
So, I had to take rest.
And I remembered I didn't have lunch and any drink.
I rushed into the Lawson, and I carried out to buy a "Red bull".
"Red bull" is the most greatest drink for fighting something difficult !!
I've been regretting my behavior since I got to home. My back ache became worse... Be good, everyone. Never be such a silly.
It's difficult for my son to read this novel. This novel is in three volumes. And they had slept on the loft in my house for about 30 years. I would read them, when I was a junior high school student. It reminded me that ages.
At the time. I thought I cannot truly appreciate this novel unless I read it several times. And I putted it into practice. I was eager to increase of my knowledge and why.
I had read it at least five times, but now I can scarcely remember its details. I'd try to read with my son, again.
"How's everything going Takemi ?" Today's shooting was started by that friendly phrase. They are called "fHoll" by us. and their music is well-known in fascinating Italian canzone .
Today, we really had basked in full of the sunshine. Today's couple had to be put off their wedding ceremony, because Japan suffered from the huge earthquake on 11th March.
Any way. Congratulations for your overcoming !!
The chapel had been waiting for this two months for them , silently.
Also, these greens beautifully grew up while they were waiting for the couple.
At length ! The wedding ceremony will start, soon.
Today; I went to Stella Porale in Koshigaya Lake town. That Italian restaurant is covered with many types of plants, and they always show to us colorful flowers and fresh trees in each season. Recently, I have begun to interest in watching plants.
Plants never speak to me, but they seem to talk to me something calm, occasionally. If I were poet, I'd write to express this impression.
But, I'm happy. I can see climactic moment of couples every week, instead.
It is terrific to carve meat for cooking by this knife.
I seldom have cooked usually.
But sometimes, I try to do as if a professional cook.
I think women are really marvelous, when I'm cooking every time. My cooking is nearly like a hobby. So, I never mind their cost, time, volume and so on. But it taste never reach to my wife's .
There are some kinds of plants in my garden. From Spring to early Summer, they grow up by themselves every year. Now on. I can realize that they care of me whenever I feel something sad.
Today, clovers are blooming without speaking.
Now is the time, I have to protect them against nuclear matter. But, I haven't found the best solution till now. I never have been in such a heartrending sorrow.
But, I had overcome any hard situations, either. I can do, and we can do.
I think Japan is one of the most beautiful country in the world. Usually, rain brings us happiness, but sometimes it leads us to worse situation. Especially, the typhoons have been continuing to get out dismal consequences since the prehistoric age.
Today, fortunately it had already passed by off the Kanto area in Japan without much damage. Still, hard winds are blowing now. I wish tomorrow will be fine.
As we anticipated, the rain from last night silently have been lasting.
As we anticipated, it silently have been raining from last night. A wedding is the most special day for each couple. So, mostly couples hope their wedding day will be sunny!
We photographer are also helped by fine day, only for camera and lenses. It's insignificant thing, if they compare for many years to come for their lives to it.
We ; supporter always should be calm and warm for couples. The best hospitality for them will be unforgettable memory as long as they live.
There were a lot of blue birds in party room, and I could see fresh green tree beyond them. It reminded me of L'Oiseau bleu by Maurice Maeterlinck. It said. "Happy is beside myself." At times, we apt to overlook it.
We should be slowly. And wouldn't you like to make happiness rather than look for it on your life?
Japan is going to be rainy season, soon.
But, if you have to think something, nothing is better than drinking a cup of coffee at window side in the rainy day.
I think so.
Principals at wedding are really shining, I think so.
Weather report says, "Tomorrow, it will be rainy". But, we never worry, and couples don't mind such a little thing either. Usually, I sing "Raindrops Keep fall on my head"
I was born in June that is rainy season in Japan.
Rain takes care of plants, nature and us as if our mother. Sometimes it's calm, sometimes it's hard, and sometimes it looks like some tears.
The Biogon is minor lens than the Distagon is guaranteed by the Carl Zeiss. I've been using those lenses for about 15 years. Please take a look at this photo again, you can see this Biogon has a beautiful and big curve lens at top layer on itself. Latest style of wide angle lenses have concave lens on the top, instead.
I mean well toward the Biogon which give me nostalgic feeling. This Biogon had slept in my cabinet for about four years, because my Leica was disposed of me. But, now I can use it with Olympus Pen E-P2. I had better love it.
Even right and justice don't lead to winning if it is not trained continuously. We constantly have to be forged by ourselves in each day.
Today ! I've been dipped in English by several ways all a day. My left brain is as worn out as a marathon runner reached to goal.
My training style was always along with hard way. But recently, my concentrate ability is gradually and steadily decreasing. So, I try to study with pleasure. For example, I write diary in English, every evening, and sometimes I talk to someone who speaks English beyond the internet or Skype. and more, sometimes I watch the favorite movies in English without text.
My skill mightn't get to enough level. But why wondering me, I'm in good spirit. Because I could find that I'm never alone. Tomorrow is the another day !!
Although the Caffe Florian's iced chocolate makes uncountable smile on person's face, I think that strawberry ice cream is the most marvelous flavor on the Planet Earth. Particularly, the Häagen-Dazs's are the best. Don't you think so?
This new package had brought about happiness for me, however undoubtedly I knew that contents didn't change.
In my opinion, each of still photo and video movie lived in another world for many years. But now, that fence have been gradually breaking. I think it is one of the best fusion, or worst harmony. We shouldn't apply movie skill to still photo, lightly. No doubt, if we don't have enough technique and skill it won't lead to synthesis. It will never lead to happiness for couples and everyone.
Therefore, I'm going to have to get movie's knowledge and editing skills as soon as possible.
They were preparing for wedding party with smiling all over as if bride's friends !!
I'm apt to be frank to couples there, because all staffs and couple's distance is very close. But, I think it is better than too formal.
It was very good weather from dawn to about noon.
I hadn't felt humid and hot, also I wasn't bitten by a mosquito.
Japan is in the best season, now. don't you think so?
Strictly speaking, I was wondering how it will be today's weather, because yesterday's weather report all said "It will be rain." And I was going to have to prepare for rain.
Any way, I went to "Stella Polare" at Lake town in Koshigaya to take wedding photo. I won't forget couple's smile and big laugh as long as I live.
My father has been dead for 27years. He several times said to me "Boy shouldn't cry except for his mother or father's funeral".
I was a crybaby, until I became about 10 years old. But, if I lost of battle against friends who lived in neighborhood, he never forgave me. Then, always I was thinking how I can win a battle. But I've been weak constitution, by nature. Poor me ! I could hardly win battle with a scuffle. I had to become a strategist, instead.
Now, I've been talking to my son, similarly. That's probably my descent, and he will have to overcome a lot of difficult situations on his life. I believe him.
Soka atelier was established in late 2000. Till today, I have been buying many unnecessary goods. And day by day, that room was gradualy occupied by them.
Today; Many goods that I had purchased in past were tidied up. Surprisingly, according to some goods I couldn't understand why I bought. Now that I've found that each in people's heart is never filled with by things, I shouldn't buy something on impulse.
Steadily, the ivy grows day by day. I'd like to be like them. Usually, we opt to overlook many unremarkable things. Early summer leads to me good spirit every year.
But, I'm wondering "When did I become a plants fan ?".
If anything, I'd prefer animals rather than plants till I was a high school student.
I used to have some cats, birds, and beetles.
I could scarcely memorize plants or flowers name.
I remember that those were too boring to infantile me.
Today ; I went to Lake town at Koshigaya to buy some gifts for anyone. Recently, an outlet mall had been added to that huge shopping district. I haven't been there till today, because of traffic jam.I think most of people don't like uncomfortable drive even if a short distance, don't you think so ? So, this chance was my first shopping experience in that mall.
At 3 o'clock, I came back to home. And suddenly, I remembered I should take care of my shoes and bags. Rainy season will come soon.
Immediately, I began to clean and have brushup for them. Also, I made them waterproofing, carefully. I had polished shoes to a bright shine completely !!
I could find some rust had eaten lightly into the metal parts. I thought those are my friends. Those shoes traveled with me anywhere, anytime. And, I think everything will be changed gradually to profound.
Therefore, I'd like to continue to love them with pleasure . Rather, I've been wondering if I'll forget that operations.
Last day, I found a pair of better speaker on sale, and I bought them on impulse, because they were much cheaper.
That time, I didn't expect good sound from such a small speaker in particular. But actually I was surprised by these speakers when I heard many kind of musics.
At the Aoyama atelier. There are so better speakers for Mac that made by "TIME DMAIN". And those look like this one. But they were far expensive than I bought this time.
Any way, we don't need high quality sound for work. We need the best color monitor, instead.
But, these shapes are terrific, I think they are similar to easter egg.
Yesterday; As we anticipated, "Chubu-denryoku" electricity supply service company announced that they'll stop their nuclear power plant.
I thought many people in Japan were greatly relieved at the news. But, that decision will bring us heavy fact, too. Probably, I think we will see that the consequences justifies the means.
I believe this decision from the Japanese Government. But, If I can meet him directly, I would ask the prime minister Naoto Kan.
How did you make that decision ? Decisiveness or hastiness ?
It goes without saying, today is the last day of the so-called "Golden week". How did you do in that period ?
You know, Japan has been facing to a lot of troubles which were caused by huge quark. So, I didn't feel this "Golden-week" was similar to usual year, a little. Any way, we've been busy in this season. And, we must be grateful that we could take photos for many couples.
I'm aware that it has already brought about a summer,indeed. Summer also brings us something wonderful every year! Probably we'll be able to have with something experience.
Today; It was very lovely day, wasn't it? I went to Yokohama to take photos of wedding, as I was saying a few days ago.
Radio synchro system is very convenient tool. And I thought why we didn't purchase it till this year!! No doubt, we'll be able to concentrate taking photos of wedding than now.
I'll have to put a car in for its inspection that is obligated by the government till the end of the month.
My car has been kept good condition by me. So, I like maintenance of various things .
Many things around me were being done maintenance for my pleasure about 30 years, though I'm a poor mechanic. But, I go there a few times a year and my car receives special service by BMW's service staff because I'm not professional licensed car mechanic.
Therefore, My car will be taken there on May 11. And it will get good condition.
By the way. This is a premium goods of another car dealer which was built last month close to my house.
Today ; I took photos of my father in law with his grandson. We have "Children day" that is one of Japanese Holidays. He is 70 years old, and he is still in good spirits.
In fact, I hadn't taken photos of my family and relatives as like work for long ages. Because, I and he had a little feud in each other. But, the long‐standing feud between us was resolved by long time.
I decided, from now on, I'll have to respect the will of the individual.
May 7; I'll go to Yokohama to take wedding photos.
That day. I'll have to take photos of formal style as a responsible position. Whenever I prepare for shooting photos I'm going to be nervous. And in that case, always I clean up and polish of my cameras and lenses. It is one of solutions which gives for me calm.
I like the "Tokyo tower" rather than the "Tokyo sky tree". Or the "Tour Eiffel", and the "Sagrada Família" are beautiful. Perhaps,I and some of people might admire more older or more traditional architectures.
By the way. These memorial stamps were published in 15th April.
Do you know the Japan Post Service has been continuing to publish many kinds of memorial stamps several time a each month.
I remember collecting many memorial stamps when I was elementally school student. They still exist in my mother's home.
But now, I don't purchase to collect of them. Usually, I use them on my work.
Today ; It's really fine. I've got up at 6:30, and immediately I started to study English to increase that skill. I think that learning English is too endless to me to get at.
At just 7 o'clock. I told my son to bring me newspaper while I was dropping of my coffee. And we took some breads and some milk for breakfast. And, I add some honey for a cup of milk , without fail.
Then. I've tried studying English again until noon. While I was studying I had to face to difficulties. Therefore, I couldn't solve of some questions by myself. Then, I asked to my teacher about them. Always she politely describe those to me. I have to study more !!
I came up with some plans to confront for summer that would be unbelievable heat. And immediately I putted one of them into practice.
I cleaned up a loft to go through for air smooth. And I discovered a lot of treasure that I collected many types of goods. Some of them were changed real treasure. But I decide to dump on another ones .
I'd been soaked with sweat only in 1 hour at that work. I noticed that loft is the most hot area in my house.
Today; We went to "la butte boisée" at Jiyugaoka for a Tomoko's birthday party. We had warm time, and we had so delicious meal. Thank you for ingenious cuisine, Chef Morishige ! Thank you for great hospitality, Ms. Fukushi ! Actually, we are proud of our job that have tied up with that restaurant since 2006.
By the way. This is a artistic plate which is made from glass by competent meister. Handmade goods are the most appropriate ones for those who are very particular about them.
Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus Augustus was the first Emperor of the Roman Empire.
His father in law is more famous historic hero than him.
His father is well-known for "Julius Caesar " which were written by Shakespear.
I also admire for Julius Caesar who always won against many enemies and himself. But, I have great respect for Emperor Augustus rather than Julius Caesar.
I should get back to subject.
The region of Augustus was over a long time of years. That was over 40 years!!
He established the foundation for modern national style while his region.
He had never won the war by himself. But, he had two friends who both had super brain. One of them, Agrippa was ingenious on war. His historic symbol is Pantheon that still is there, surprisingly. And other friend, Maecenas intelligently used diplomacy as the negotiator. Patroness action is the greatest triumph of him, I think. Just now, the fountain pen of homage to him by Mont Blank is on sale. But, But, it's expensive to me.
Yesterday; I orderedit. It'll arrive to me in 10 day.
Today; It was so lovely day, doesn't it ? The weather had been fine. Temperature just fitted to us, and also humidity was the best refreshed !!
Spring will has been going to pass us at a moment. Summer will come soon. The Meteorological Agency says. Probably, we'll have to suffer from a scorching sun. And, we have to face electricity shortage from nuclear power plants accident. From just now, we should prepare to against it, shouldn't we?
But, don't forget to maintain of your pleasure, always. What pleasure do you have in the summer? One of my summer's pleasure is iced coffee.
My favorite iced coffee is dripped down from this coffee-maker. This is called "Pota", and it makes so-called "Water drip coffee".
If I wanna drink some "Water drip coffee", I have to wait for about 10 hours. I also like that, too.
Today; It had been hard rain without chances of very short time of cloudy. Probably, many people wish it would be fine on wedding day. But, don't worry, from photographer's viewpoint, rainy day is superior to the fine day for taking photos. In actually, the light in the rain is better than the be fine days. It always gives us natural lights. These lights are more soft and beautiful as if a silk.
Today;
A family came to our atelier. We hadn't met each other for almost 3 years. So, they got married in May 2008, at that time I and Yurie Fukuno took photos of their wedding ceremony and party.
Now, they become a parents of their baby. He is 18 months old.
His parents said "He continues to become more and more mischievous and now he is at the most mischievous age".
That reminded me that my 2 sons were similar.
About 1 hour later, he slept peacefully.
I heard his father who used to be a groom has been taking many photos of him.
So his father is an eager photographer.
Now, I'm very happy. My heart is full of gratitude. I'll be cherishing this feeling as long as I live.
I like to read book & novels. I have been spending so much time and a lot of money for at least 30 years. But, certainly I think this habit isn't not bad. I had gotten many opinions, inspirations, virtual experiences, by them.
Many times, I'd been abroad in my imagination when I was teenager. I was interested in ancient cities on the encyclopedia. Also, I admired for infinite universe beyond the sky. Mostly, many books gave me wisdom.
The other day, I had slept down in my mistake while I was taking a bath. I dropped my favorite novel into the bathtub.
Today. It still doesn't dry. Time makes it solve, doesn't it?
We:EasterEgg have contracted to tie up with some restaurants, wedding ceremony halls, and hotels.
I think taking wedding photo is the most difficult genre above all. Particularly, the best snap shots are taken by competent skills, great sense and coincidental chance.
Wedding photographer must keep their physical and mental condition, and must brush up their feeling. Therefore, we must continue to take photos of wedding. We think each in every wedding that we took were unforgettable. All of wedding couple made us decent technician.
I have spent to study English for one year. But my English isn't reach to useful level on communication.
But I never give up.
Certainly, my ability of English has improved. I believe I'll be able to speak English more in a year. Therefore, I need a thorough review of my study method, and I'll have to change it.
Yesterday; My wife was given this as a present by her sister. Usually, I'm a sweet tooth that is a well known fact around me. I don't feel like eat a special spicy foods, I'd rather eat bitter vegetable.
But sometimes I have eating spicy foods, too.
For example,
Korean foods, Indian foods, and Mexican foods.
Therefore, I have expectation to this "Rahyou" that will give me good taste.
Today. The Government announced of critical message that nuclear power supply trouble. We:Japanese all have to face this new problem that is now being watched with interest by the rest of the world.
My father said "Japan was lost in the world war II.", when I was a child. And "We had recovered from zero or minus, and now they are growing up than before the world war II." he continued. Now, I remembered this phrase that gives me fighting spirit.
In ten years, we'll overcome this problem. And no doubt, we'll aware what is the most cherish something.
I realized there is the half moon when I looked up the sky. I felt it says to us "Don't worry".
Today, I chased many jobs.
I could finish them that I had to do it. But, I couldn't reach to more additions. I'm admire for person who develop digital photo data as well as, doing desk work on paralleled.
From now on, I have to study English until 24:00. I must be have a pleasure heart.
An avenue in front of EasterEgg atelier has been constructing for a month. They are working from night to dawn every night without holiday.
Today, I'd met some couples that are preparing for their wedding. Really, many tasks have come one after another. That was unbelievable for me. I have to fight together my toughness spirit against those tasks.
Today; My little son got into a junior high school. So, today is a special occasion that he'll welcome many happiness to come for his long life. Then, I and my wife decided to take him to restaurant for he is preferring. That goes without saying, my big son also likes meats.
They really ate so much at tonight !! I had to be continuing to bake many meat. I could hardly eat any more. But I'm happy.
I must protect and guard for my family. I have to raise them health and tough.
Today. I used the subway to go to my atelier. I felt something strange when I got off at Aoyama-itchome station. As soon, I realized it's dark around the platform, a little. But, I thought it was enough light for those who use the subway station. Actually, I remind that both Rome and London's subway station's lamps were less than Tokyo's them.
Until now, we spent of excess electrical energy than we needs. I must mind my spending energy of excess.
Strictly speaking, I should have said "I'm in Rome, now." and "I'm going to depart on flight BA007 from Leonardo da Vinci airport".
But as it is, I am in Japan.
Owing to huge earthquake, I canceled to business trip. This business trip contained an important meeting that trade of ours items. I'll go to there on next chance and I have to win a firm contract.
Well, today as. I have to write about a book that is written of Rome. Because, I'm reading this book for a few days. It has very specious content. Whenever reading this book I feel as if I was in Rome. I feel as if I lived in Rome whenever I read this book.
I'm walking in my imaginary world. Colosseo,Foro-Romano,Piazza di Spagna, and some pavements....
From on now, EasterEgg declare to start charity activity. For a start, we must stand on us own feet, firmly. However, we can't help for them if we don't have enough power.
I as representative of EasterEgg company had been considering the problem and current capacity of us for this 3 weeks.
Now is the time, we;EasterEgg is starting to walk with them. Please everyone, help them.
We;EasterEgg started to act charity for people who were damaged by so-called "Higashi Nippon daishinsai" earthquake.
The huge earthquake have been continuing to lead them to dismal crisis. Victims will need strong mind & positive policy for at least a few years. Correctly, we must help them.
And this challenging doesn't accomplish if we won't help for them continuously.
EasterEgg has made donation to Red cross, YMCA, or other charitable institution on every year since 2000.
Now that, we found that there are a lot of troubles. Particularly, problem of radiation is a matter of vital importance to people of the world. EasterEgg should be warm, furthermore. EasterEgg should help those who try to live a life of independence.
Just 365 days ago. I was operated on for cataract.
About 20 years ago, My right eyesight was gradually decreased. At last, I lost it. Since, I often thought it's inconvenient, but I couldn't have eye operation by slight reason.
It was fear. However hard or tired, I can overcome many troubles or problems, usually.
But, also I had rich imagination !! I could suppose that the knife is surging in my eye....it brought me dismal mood. That was very rare for me. I continued to avoid that important fact.
I was wrong. I think why I escaped from fact. I had lost miracle view for over 20 years.
If you have cataract, I recommend that you should go to eye doctor, immediately.
No doubt it will bring about you wonderful world. I can assure you!!
Everyday. I read some books on parallel. This habit that I started since high school student is very convenient. I could scarcely tired. I recommend you to this method, if you like to read many books.
Today. I putted in a calm time with my family whole day. Particularly, I felt happiness for ordinary living and also I felt many people who have been living in uncomfortable situation since earthquake happened.
In the morning. I and my 2 sons made a donation of a some money to an earthquake victim through the Catholic Church.
More or less noon. We had lunch at my home. My wife made chicken pilaf. It was so delicious. I have realized normal is the best, indeed.
In the afternoon. I and 2 sons exercised in pilates. Abdominal breathing made us refresh. After exercise, I got haircut for big son. Always, his numerous and hard hairs surprised me. Then, this time I made him hair style like a crew cut. It would be cool !!
Next. I taught my little son how to use lantern and stove which work with white gasoline. They are dangerous that goes without saying. But, we have to prepare against worse. Rather, we were given opportunity from nature.
A few minutes ago, I came back to Soka from Stella porale. Today. Some wedding ceremonies are there regardless on weekday. And, also it have been beautiful blue sky from this morning.
I put my camera bag in my car after took photos. I saw a so cute ladybird, fortunately.
Certainly, I liked it for long years. But I never thought that it's cute such a extent. Life is wonderful. Now that I've been aware that living of each animals and plants are beautiful, I'll have to cherish for them.
Today; It is good weather from morning. Little by little, spring is coming steadily.
You know. Now Japan has been continuing to come up against crisis. But, each in Japanese is patiently fine.
Won't you restart with us? Now, let's rebuilt our Japan with smile as a wedding worker. These ladies have smile on them whenever I see them. I should be after the example of them. Didn't you?
Today; My little son graduate of elementally school.
今日は下の子の卒業式
I thought that he is steadily growing up day by day. He was really crybaby until last year. But now if anything, he became a reliable boy. He must train of his own physical side and mental side much still harder.
The electricity supplying has shut down several times since 14th March. People who live around Tokyo have been spending many electric power for long years.
3月14日以来、頻繁に停電が起こる 長年便利な電気に頼りすぎてきた私たち
We can scarcely live without electric benefits. My big son is afraid of dark, absolutely. Because he has learning difficulties. Then, I have to keep the light burning while power failure. この恩恵無しに私たちもはや生きていけない 知的障害をもつ長男が怖がらないように、夜の停電中はランタンに火を灯す
Today is also very cold. If my family were the anybodies who live in north east Japan, we won't be able to overcome this crisis.
今日はことさら寒い もし私たち家族が東北に住んでいたならと思うと改めて恐い
Instead, I struggle against this crisis situation exert myself to the utmost. Pray for Japan ! だから私は、その分懸命に働かなくては！！ 明日の日本を信じて
A week has passed after the disaster. Ｉ feel unbelievable every time Ｉ watch the tragedy on TV. Many people lost family and fighting against nuclear problem. We try to go forward in order to tide over the hardships!
Some cherry blossom started blooming in Tokyo. This beautiful blooming will spread toward north east area of Japan for more than 2 months gradually.The cherry trees in north east area of Japan will be in full bloom from late April to May! This beautiful cherry tree we Japanese are proud of can give us lots of hope!
North east Japan has had strong earthquake.
We have seriously shocked.
But we have to keep own power. And we against this difficult trouble. I believe, no doubt we can get over many difficulties.
I've been purchasing English Newspaper from this month. At first, I could hardly read all of articles, but now little by little, my reading ability is improving and I can understand of them a bit.
I'm eager to increase conversation ability of English.
In fact....I have phobia of airplane. Until two years ago, I thought I never take an airplane. But last spring, I had to take airplane in job.That time, I went to Slovenia, Venice and Rome. That visit is unforgettable for me.
After 6 months, I visited Rome again.
Then, I'll go to Rome in 20 days. I intend to go to Firenze, Venice, and Republic of San Marino. No doubt, I'll be able to find something wonderful.
I'm going to Italy from 28th March to 5th April. And I'm intending to go to "South Tyrol Museum" at Bolzano in north of Italy.
That museum has the "Ice man" who was discovered at deep Alpine glacier in 1991. Surprisingly, "Ice man" had slept nearly 5000 years in glacier. Emperor Augustus was born after "Ice man" slept 3000 years.
I wish I 'll be able to meet him. I guess, "Yes I can" !!
Today ; It's absolutely cold. If it will be continuing, we may have snow tonight.
When I was child, I thought snow is a one of the cloud falling.
I baked chicken in the noon (Coach was my wife), and I ate it.
It was very delicious, but I think no doubt to make it more deliciously.
I'm going to try again, and I'll do more salty.
I've had serious stiff neck since this evening.
And it is gradually on the incease.
So, I should sleep as fast as possible.
My sholder, neck and back have been stiff for long ages.
I decided I'll try to have somevinegar from on now on a daily basis.
My little son will graduate from elementally school in 20 days. Also he won't be allowed to use this card (Suica) from April. It will need to change. Congratulations for your graduation, Takuma !
My older son has learning difficulties. But, always he helps me with his smile. And he has been continuing to grow up himself, gradually & certainly. This is gift for me from him. He is belonging to YMCA for many years.
In 1979 ; I was eager to watch many movies. 3years later, I became a high school student, and I had spent a lot of money to watch movies.
Why did I want to watch many movies ? I can't answer. But I remember that I thought I must watch.
My mother & father also liked to watch movies. Sometimes they took me to movie theater. Poor me... I hardly understood , mostly. Rather, I confused or I was bored.
Now, at times, I force my son to watch movies. Particularly "2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY".
Unexpectedly, I've been busy today since this morning. My schedule almost failed. I have to be thorough review of my jobs as fast as possible. And I will have to restructure of them.
First ; I preheated the oven to 180℃. Second ; I put some breads. Third ; I was waiting for a few minutes.(Always I feel boring) finally ; I deliciously ate. It goes without saying, I ate them dipping in honey.
From this winter, I've been having some apples and some honey at daily basis. Bad cold couldn't catch me never !!
Barn wood photo frames are made by old wood which had structured houses for about over 50years.
I have been thinking also traditional photos fit to them since I looked those first time. Today; I completed these photo frames. I've just retouched, printed and put 8photos in them.
As I anticipated, these are so terrific !! What a nostalgia.
Today ; I'm working at home all in a day. My tasks are endless. By all means of endless of happy. See you tomorrow !!
My almost unforgettably job was there. My lovely coffee mill !! But infact.....,actually, keeping good condition of coffee mill may be an effort for me.
This is the new edition of "Commentarii de Bello Gallico" which written by Gaius Julius Caesar, was published in Dec. 2010. This time edition is translated into the plain Japanase. I'm familiar to my impression when I read it first time.
About 20 years ago, I read it and It was the most major influence in my life. Actually. I could scarcely do like him. But, I'm continuing to want to become a like him.
We;EasterEgg is closed on Wednesday. But if anything, each of our staff are eager to get their skill, instead!! Actually, I think that their skill is gradually increasing day by day, recently.
Habitually, I like to drink coffee. Sometimes, also I drink cocoa. That sweetie taste made me calm. My brain has desired something sweets everyday. But, to make cocoa is a bit bothersome.
Ah, so do you know an Association in below ? I didn't know it until this morning. World is full of miracles !!
Tomorrow, it will be very cold and snow. Probably, many couples will get marriage tomorrow. I think they will get an unforgettable day, and our;photographers, too.Now, we must let go of negative side, always maintain a positive attitude!!
Oh, I'll do pilates, from just now. I have been stiffed shoulder for long years. Go away !! Painful shoulder!
This black object is a brain of navigation system which has been usually installing on my car. Why was there ? I've been renewing it on a monthly basis. So, I could use up-to-date edition of map. But, this service has reached to final chance at this time.
Mostly, I scarcely buy a juice from vending machine. But, I tried it today.
How lucky ! I got a 10yen coin that has serrated edge. It called "Giza-Ju" in Japan, and bit rare.
In the afternoon. I went to a pottery shop which is close to our atelier. They have opened pottery class for appointment system. Since before, I thought that their and our work are common to each other.
I tried..... , and I made a piece of abstract art ! This is the my first pottery !!
"Yu kobo" is around "Aoyama-itchome' intersection.
By the way. This is a honey pitcher which my favorites.
Today; I went to Daida church in Setagaya Tokyo. As you anticipated, our co-worker;Ryo & Akemi had got married today !!
Although in all likelihood we work at many special occasion sites, co-workers ceremony is the most dazzling. I've sensed something warm in my heart, when I saw Akemi as bride.
May God bless you !!
Now, I'm drinking some hot honey milk with to enjoy pleasant sensation that lingers on after that ceremony is over.
In the morning, I made cafe latte and I had relax time until nearly noon. In the afternoon, I worked hard as if an ant. No doubt, I'll get terrific consequences !! Likely I believe.
And now, I have been studying English with delight since at the twilight time. I really think, I want to become a English speaker !! My policy gives to me power and energy !!
Guess what ? You know, I'm a poor blood circulation. So, I can scarcely act in winter. When I was about 25years old, going to ski had come into fashion in young people . But, actually I thought that I'd rather playing a video game at home with "Mikan", instead.
This is a foot warmer which don't use electric power, gas, and any energy. Energy resource is myself. It's very convenient, economical, safety, and unsurprisingly warm !! I recommend you to this, if you are poor blood circulation.
.....Also, I don't like hot day. How inconvenient I am.
Today;
Strictly speaking, I should have said "I'm in Rome, now." and "I'm going to depart on flight BA007 from Leonardo da Vinci airport".
Some cherry blossom started blooming in Tokyo.
